He shook hands with a businessman who had called him earlier as he sat across from him.

"I'm honored that you acknowledged my request." The man said and he smirked, shaking his head.

"No. I'm glad that you are interested in me and want to work with me." He said.

"I have never seen someone so humble as you are." The man commented.

"Do I have anything to be proud of?" He said with sarcasm lingering in his voice.

"Of course, you do. Your talent alone is worth billions of dollars." The man exclaimed.

"I'm flattered." He said, resting his elbow on the desk.

"How about we order something before we proceed?" The man suggested and he agreed, after all, he had been hungry since morning but hadn't gotten the chance to eat since every meeting he attended was strictly confidential and needed a lot of attention.

"So, Mr. Jamal, how did you learn how to be so fast with codes? I mean, no one has ever created an application or software in one day." The man was still in doubt.

"Let's just say, it's an

    “Are you crazy?” A thin loud feminine voice could be heard in the entire receptionist, it was Mia.She shot the janitor a dirty look as she slyly brushed off the stain on her skirt.“At least look where you are going!” She yelled at the woman’s face.“I’m so sorry miss. The truck is too heavy to be controlled by an old lady like me. I’m sorry.” The old-looking woman with grey hair and shrieked skin apologized, handing Mia a dirty-looking rag.“Take this off me! How can I use something as dirty as that to clean my expensive outfit!” She yelled at the woman curtly. “If the truck is too heavy for you, then stop working rather than ruining people's lives here.” She added, sighing heavily.“But I already apologized ma’am.” The woman reminded her.“Can apology dust off my stained skirt?” She rolled her eyes in heavy disgust. “Please, while I’m still cool, get lost!” She cried out angrily, the woman nodded and gave her a long look before leaving with the cleaning truck.“Annoying people ever

    “Wait, don’t tell me you didn’t sleep all night.” Melanie entered the guest room Jamal was occupying after knocking, she placed the hot cup of coffee on the table.“I was super busy and currently the same right now.” He quickly drank the coffee and gasped. “Ouch! It’s hot!” He groaned.“Sorry, I didn’t tell you. It’s hot.” She apologized immediately.“Thanks.” He diverted his attention back to the laptop.“What’s the new project? I have no idea about this.” She said, trying to understand the codes displaying on his screen.“I’m creating a new application. This is more like a dating app, but aside from that, one can also order food or meet up in the application. I want to make it look a little bit familiar with chatting application but easy to be used.” He explained rashly.“Wow, that’s nice!” Her eyes glittered in astonishment.“Did my father give you this project? He is becoming productive these days.” She nodded her head approvingly.“No, it’s not your father neither is it for the c

    "This is ridiculous!" Mr. Alcantara faced him. "Will you explain what this nonsense is all about?!" Mr. Alcantara screamed in his face."Sir, believe me, it's not what you think." He said, defending himself."Is not what I think? Then, am I blind or is the media wrong?" Mr. Alcantara questioned him curtly, forgetting the fact that he was important to him and his close subordinate."Some days ago, Melanie was closing late from work and I volunteered to drive her home. When we arrived, it was late and she requested that I spend the night at her place and leave the next morning." He paused. "You know how Melanie can be sometimes, she insisted and I agreed to stay. Nothing happened between us the whole night as I was busy creating my new application. The next morning, I left without having breakfast or anything." He sighed, sadly concluding his explanation. "You can ask Melanie, she can testify that I'm innocent." He added."Then, why is it all over the internet? I don't believe you!" Mr.

    "You know I don't love you, right?" He raised a brow. There was a long silence between them."I know but we have to convince my father first." She exhaled deeply."Then, let's do it. I will no longer stay here anyways, if he can claim his mansion immediately, then I have to leave because it's not mine." He informed her shortly."Do you really have to leave? Where will you stay?" She asked, looking anxious."That's none of your business, just tell your father that we are dating." He squeezed out a smile, picked up his bag, and strolled out of the mansion. Melanie watched him without a word."Ma'am, should we continue with your ur father's task?" One of the men questioned her courteously."Wasn't that what you were doing?" She hissed and stormed out of the mansion.On the street, Jamal took out his phone and dialed a number. A contact he hasn't called for almost a month and counting. After two rings, the person picked."Hello, young master," Dennis spoke first, his voice filled with cour

    "I will be participating in the chairman election," Jamal said seriously, staring at the board of directors courageously.It's been a week since his mess on media has been cleared, and people are slowly forgetting about his "fake" action."Do you think you are eligible?" Madam Felicia fired. She was part of the important boards in the company and has over 50% shares."When you say eligible, what do you mean?" He paused. "If I can make C-Gaming Group grow in just a week, what do you think would become of mine?" He raised a brow and some of the boards started nodding their heads approvingly."But - -" Madam Felicia began but was curtly interrupted."No buts." The acting vice president began. "We all know that Mr. Jamal is eligible for this position. It is only right for him to join the contest, if he wins, then it's his time to rule, else he will step down and become a normal staff." The acting vice president, Leo, explained to everyone."That's true." Everyone nodded but Madam Felicia w

    "Doctor, please tell me he is going to be fine!" Melanie cried dolefully as she rolled the bed with the nurses, but none of them responded to her."Please answer me, will he be fine?" She kept on questioning them and receiving silence as a response."Miss, please stay here. He needs to go to the emergency theatre alone." The nurse informed her courteously before joining the others.Melanie signed, banging on the transparent emergency door in anger. Tears streamed from her eyes down to her cheek."Mr. Jamal? Mr. Jamal!" Dennis ran into the scene but the nurses had already gone deeper with Jamal. He sighed heavily, a hand on his waist as he caressed his wrinkled forehead."Do you know him?" Melanie broke the awkward silence between them."What about you?" Dennis raised a brow.A few minutes later after exchanging pleasantries, they consoled each other before sitting on the waiting chair."Fortunately, I was in the area. I called the ambulance immediately after the accident." She informed

    “I’m afraid I would have to turn your request down, Melanie. This is not the right time and you also know.” He sighed, rubbing his forehead.“I have so many quests and challenges lying before me, but I can acknowledge your love by continuing our courtship.” He added after a brief silence. His eyes rolled from Melanie before rolling to her father.“It’s her choice if she can be understanding.” Mr. Alcantara sighed. “We aren’t trying to sanction you into this, but as much as it's not a do-or-die affair, you still have to do it.” Mr. Alcantara informed him.“I will do it when the time is right but as for now, I’m not up for it.” He stood up.“We are not done here.” Mr. Alcantara snorted.“I’m done and I have an important meeting to attend, please excuse me.” He said, giving them a short bow as he left the restaurant. Melanie watched him in silence.“What do you see in that young man?” Mr. Alcantara broke the silence.“Love?” She raised a brow and he shook his head in disbelief.“Trust me

    They tied a rope to her hands, and another to her eyes and mouth, making it difficult for her to see or make a sound. She could only struggle.“What do they want to do with this fine lady?” One of the grumpy-looking men questioned his fellow.“Kill her? They always do that.” His partner assumed.Finally, Melanie was able to pull the rope from her mouth, she exhaled deeply.“What do you want from me? My father would kill you if he caught you!” She screamed frantically.“Save your voice for later, darling. Besides, no one is ever going to hear you.” One of the men smirked, laughing with his colleague.“WHERE AM I?” She yelled. “Why did you kidnap me? I didn’t wrong anyone or do anything wrong.” She agitated sadly.“Maybe you sided with the wrong person.” Another man curled his lips in disgust, they ignored her and continued cleaning their rifles.“How much do you want? $10,000 thousand? $200,000 million?” She paused waiting for their response but they didn’t answer her, unbeknownst to h

    They finished packaging everything in the car.“ Can I talk to you for a while?” Paula asked, as she flipped her hair to her back. “ Sure,” Melanie answered. They walked inside the house. “ I wanted to properly apologize to you about what happened between Jamal and me, I know you still resent me but I am here now to say I am sorry for the pain I caused you and your family”Melanie was not expecting that to come out in that manner. They had stayed quiet while packaging the things they needed for vacation. No words or laughter were exchanged. They minded their business. “ It is fine, apology accepted” She smiled at her, it was genuine. “ Can I get a hug?” Paula askedMelanie pulled her into a hug. “ We are going to go late, ladies,” Jamal shouted from the window. He had been watching them. He wanted to let them be but they were running out of time. They got into the car. He drove them to a resort.

    Jamal had to sit close to her to see it. “ I had my suspicions about this,” he said.“ I was on it and this just confirmed it, I will send this to the police” It was a video that contained the things he did to little girls that were brought to him. “ He can't escape this” Mitchell smiled at the laptop in front of her as she forwarded it to the police. “ Hey dude, thanks for this” Mitchell got herself a glass of wine. She was happy because that was the only thing left to find out. She figured that Reuben would be able to get it for her. He had kept that for the last fight against Sam. The flash that Paula had taken just had little of what he was doing. “ Glad I kept that safe,” Reuben smiled broadly. The door opened and Dave walked in. He went to Mitchell and kissed her passionately.“ Didn't see that coming” Reuben was shocked to see them that way. “ Get used to it dude” Dave replied to him.“ Getting a toast? We've worked so hard to save everyone from that disaster” Paula go

    When the door opened, Richard was trying to suffocate Dave. He was immediately handed over to the police. He was taken away from the hospital. The doctors had to urgently attend to Dave and make sure he was okay. They all went back to their houses. Paula could not afford to stay alone so she joined Mitchell at her place. After a while, Reuben came by. “ What was that about? The thing between you and Melanie” Mitchell asked Paula. “ Melanie and Dave had something in the past. We are just here because Sam took my daughter, and I knew how dangerous it was that my daughter was with him” “ Excuse me, you have a daughter?” Mitchell's mouth dropped open, she had never seen her or heard her talk about her daughter.“ Yes, my daughter, Jamal's daughter, Rose. Rose is my daughter, I was not ready to handle a baby so I left her at the playing ground, luckily for me, Jamal and Melanie took her” Mitchell was surprised to hear that. She wondered how Paula must have felt seeing her daughter a

    She got downstairs and could not see Paula. She looked around the place. “ Where is she?” She asked Sam who stood there looking shocked as well. “ She was right here when I left this place” Michelle was not having any of it. She charged at him. “ Where did you keep her?” “ This was all planned by the both of you, you saying you wanted to pee, and then I left her here, you two planned this” He left Mitchell there and went upstairs. Mitchell ran to the door that the maid had pointed. She got to the door and saw that it was locked. She tried to hit it open but it was not working. ” Who is there?” Mitchell heard a faint voice coming from the room. She leaned in on it. “ Anyone there?” She asked. “ Mitchell” That was Reuben calling faintly. He had woken up and could not recognize where he was. He tried to stand up but could not do so. He was weak.He crawled to the door and tried to open it but it would not open. He struggled with the door but could not open it. He stayed ther

Sam Anderson went to the door to get him. He had seen Reuben outside. He got there and opened the door for Reuben. Reuben walked in and could not believe how well-decorated the house was. “ You own this?” He asked “ No, I do not,” he answered as he sat down.Richard was upstairs looking at them.

He was still talking with Reuben when the maid brought a drink. “ You should have this,” he said to him.Reuben took it from the maid and drank it. He continued to talk with Sam till he began to feel dizzy. He stood up. “ Where can I get some rest, I am so tired,” he said to Sam. “ Take him to the room,” he said to the maid. Richard came downstairs when Reuben had been taken to the room. “ He will be there for a long time,” Sam said to Richard. I

    She quickly told Dave about the man that had met her at the pack. It sounded surprising to him at first but was no longer funny when he remembered that someone was following Mitchell as well. “ Maybe it is just some coincidence,” he told Paula. Paula was not satisfied with it. She went to her bag and brought out the card he had given her. She called him up. When Richard saw her call, he smiled. “ Such an easy catch,” he said as he picked it up and answered. She wanted him to meet her up in a place, that same place. He teased her about missing him already. He got dressed and drove out of the house. He got to the place and saw that she had already gotten there, and even had a drink on the table. He walked to her. “ Wanna give me a hug?” He spread his hands at her. “ Not today” She waved at him to sit down. He had a disappointed look on his face. “ So you missed me?” He ordered his drinks as well. “ You wish, far from that” She took a sip. “ Did you follow me home t

    He smiled as he sent the last apology message to her. He had been pleading with her to forgive him. He sent flowers and gifts as well. He stayed on his bed, looking at his phone and waiting for a reply from her. It came, she had forgiven him. He immediately asked her to fix a place for them to meet. He told her how badly he wanted to see her. She accepted and sent him a location. She stood in front of the mirror as she dressed. “ You look great,” Dave said to her as she stepped out of her bedroom. “ Thank you” “ Why did you put so much effort into looking this good, going on a date?” He had fear in his heart that she was going to see a lover. “ Is that so? I do not want to appear like that, I will go change” She rushed into the room and had to change the way she styled her hair and had to also change her clothes. She came out in front of Dave. “ Is this okay?” She asked him. “ Yes, where to go?” “ To see someone” was all she said before she left the house. She entered her

    He had everything set. He looked so flashy and smelt of wealth. He smells good as well. He got into his car and drove to the expensive restaurant that was in town. He parked his car and got out. The ladies there blushed as they flashed his smiles. He waved at one of the girls, she could not believe that he was waving at her. She smiled broadly as she held her chest. He walked into the restaurant. He looked so good, his hair and the way his lips looked, soft and inviting. He entered and the attention he got was beautiful. He looked around like he was searching for someone. He walked to a table and pulled the chair. “ I wish I was the one he sat with,” one of the ladies at the opposite table said, she was loud enough to be heard. He kept his hands on the table, with his fingers making a tapping sound on the table.Mitchell raised her face and looked at him. He smiled at her. “ Thought you would never look at me or notice that I have been sitting down here” he smiled again. Mitch

    He drove back to the house feeling down and dejected. He could not explain why everything was beginning to turn against him. He got home and noticed that the domestic staff were not there. He called out to them but did not hear anyone answer. He went around his house and saw that no one was around. He called the security man at his gate and asked where his domestic staff had all gone. “ When I asked them, they answered that you asked them to leave, I had to let them go” He was angry, he slapped the gatekeeper. He went back inside the house and had to go to their rooms. He got there and saw that their belongings were no longer there.“ I never gave any order,” he screamed. He went inside and for the first time in a long while, he entered into his kitchen to get a drink. He sat down, he was scared to open his phone, he was also scared to turn on the television as well. The door opened and Reuben walked in. He saw the bottle of drink with Sam, he rushed to Sam and took the drink a
